CONFUCIUS Confucianism promotes the idea of the self as a social being shaped by relationships and duties. Conversely,. At the heart of Confucianism lies the concept of Ren (humaneness) and Li (ritual propriety). These principles emphasize the importance of moral integrity, social harmony, and the cultivation of virtuous relationships within society. In Confucianism, rituals serve to reinforce social order and moral values, promoting a sense of community. EMPISIZES THE ETHICAL DIMENSION OF THE WORLD , IT GIVES PRIMARY ATTENTION TO HUMAN RELATIONSHIP , THUS ADVOCATING SOCIAL VALUES AND IDEAS WHICH SHOULD AS THE FOUNDATION OF CHINESE SOCIETY. ZHOU DYNAST -THE SECOND HISTORICAL DYNASTY OF CHINA - THE PROLIFESION OF CHINESE CLASSICAL THROUGH HAPPENED WITHIN THE REIGN OF THIS DYNASTY.  BOOK OF CHANGESS, THE BOOK OF HISTORY , THE BOOK OF POETRY , THE CLASSIC OF THE RITES, AND THE SPRING AND AUTUMN ANNALS. TAOISM Key figures such as Confucius and Laozi have shaped these philosophies. Their teachings continue to influence various fields including politics, education, and spirituality, underscoring their lasting legacy in both Eastern and Western thought. Taoism is centered around the concept of the Tao (the Way), which represents the fundamental nature of the universe. Key ideals include Wu Wei (non-action) and naturalism, encouraging individuals to align with the natural flow of life. Taoism has been connected to the philosopher Lao Tzu, who, around 500 B.C.E., wrote the main book of Taoism, the Tao Te Ching. Taoists believe in spiritual immortality, where the spirit of the body joins the universe after death. Authored by Lao Tzu, it is Taoism’s foundational text. It is 81 short chapters, dating back to the 3rd. century, b.c.e. It contains many paradoxes and profound teachings on living in harmony with nature. Chapter 56 = Echoes of such mystery are heard repeatedly. Those who know do not speak; Those who speak do not know.  Taoism is one of the world's great religions. It can also be called Daoism, which reflects its name in Chinese, Daojiao. It was founded in Zhou dynasty China sometime between 500 to 400 BCE by Laozi (Lao Tzu), a semi-legendary Chinese scholar who was a contemporary of Confucius. LAO TZU AND CHUANG TZU  LAO TZU Born in 604 B.C. E., his name means “old master.” He was conceived by a shooting star. When his mother gave birth to him, he was already eighty two years old, a wise man with flowing white hair.. He worked as a government archivist. Eventually, he became disinchant ed with the corruption of government. He left his town after taking three days to write down his words of wisdom, The Tao Te Ching. CHUANG TZU Taoism’s second founder seems to have lived from 369 to 286 b.c.e. The Chuang Tzu, his text, is as important as the Tao Te Ching but not as well known. He is known for his humor, profound lessons and stories. The Central theme of his work is the relativity of things: “Who is to say, it asks, exactly what is good, what ought to be done, or even who we are, when answers to such questions are so dependent on particular circumstances?  ZEN BUDDHISM THE “MEDITATION SCHOOL.
